What happened on their watch

Metro Reentry Facility — Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment (May 2025–present)

The nine recorded deaths occurred between October 5, 2025, and July 6, 2026, all while Schofield is listed as Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment. Decedents ranged in age from 46 to 82.

The first cluster in October 2025 includes John Whitfield, 61; Wilson Beavers, 66; Stephen Mott, 52; and Rodney Corbin, 55. DeKalb County medical examiner case notes in GPS records list the manner as natural for these men: Whitfield from metastatic stage-4 lung cancer while in hospice, found unresponsive around 3:50 a.m.; Beavers from cardiac-related causes with end-stage renal disease, congestive heart failure, metastatic lung cancer, and hypertension; Mott from pulmonary embolism or blood clots with DVT, COPD, and Hepatitis C; and Corbin from cardiac-related causes with uncontrolled diabetes, CHF, and chronic kidney disease. The Corbin notes also say he was wheelchair-bound after a recent below-knee amputation, discharged from Wellstar Spalding to the facility infirmary on October 18, and died October 23. The Mott notes include cellmate accounts that he had not been compliant with medication for about two weeks and became short of breath walking to the dining area.

A fifth case with natural-cause documentation is Robert Rodriguez Johnson, 46, on January 1, 2026. His notes list manner as natural and cause as cardiac, with the GBI determination pending, and say he had a history of strokes, a pacemaker, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension, and had recently transferred from Phoebe Putney in Albany.

The remaining four decedents in the sample — Donald Woods, 65, on January 31, 2026; Samuel Dennis Hunt, 64, on March 1, 2026; Cedric Clement Pierce, 61, on April 13, 2026; and Thomas Allen McKendrick, 82, on July 6, 2026 — are classified in GPS records as cause category 6, with no additional notes in the extract.

GPS intelligence events also document a death at Metro Reentry on January 17, 2026: Silas Westbrook, who was transferred there after hospitalization for minor injuries from the Washington State Prison disturbance. According to those event records, the GDC Office of Professional Standards was investigating the death, and Westbrook’s body was to be taken to the GBI Crime Lab to determine the official cause. Westbrook does not appear in the nine-record death-during-tenure sample provided.
